Since there are so many of us in the big July '09 group, I'm guessing we don't know a whole lot about each other. Here's your chance to get to know everyone!
Hi, I'm Daisy. :) and I'm a married mother of 3...a 9.5 year old girl, a 6 year old boy and a 2 year old boy. I'm pregnant with my fourth baby but this will be my first out of hospital birth.
I started learning about natural birthing after my 3rd was born and i thought i wouldn't have any more babies but Surprise!!! so i'm super excited to have the opportunity to give birth in a more natural environment. I'll be having my baby with a midwife at a free-standing birth center. I was thinking about a homebirth but i am about 30 minutes to a hospital in the rare event that something would go wrong i'd like to be a little closer than that. Plus my hubby is not fully comfortable being out of the hospital at all...so the birth center is a good compromise. :)

Hi all, my name is Elizebeth but I've used the screen name Skyllafae for like 10 years so a lot of people just call me Sky. I have 3 kids, a 9 year old step-daughter, a 3 year old daughter and a 1 year old son. My birth experiences have been less than desirable in the past which is why I decided to birth out of a hospital this time. With my first I was uneducated and allowed the doctor to induce me which was just the first of a snowball of interventions that led to a c-section. With my son I intended to vbac and even though I had gone into premature labor with him and he had flipped breech the doc was still going to let me try until his heartrate dropped (which I still wonder if it really did or if they just didnt want to deliver a breech baby) which of course led to a repeat c-section. This time around I AM going to VBA2C hehe. I was planning on having to homebirth in a hotel near the hospital since I live so far away but I finally got a midwife at a freestanding birth center to accept me as a patient so I'm going to have my all natural birth there and probably in the tub as well!! I'm very excited about it and can't wait to experience a real birth. Oh, and I'm officially due July 25th but I'm figuring on mid-July.
we've decided on a home birth
